Another " No signal to monitor " Thread

[ouran30001]

I just finished my first PC build( PC- Part Pickers recent 970 $ build ) and on boot up everything seemed to work fine but the Monitor ( connected with vga cable ) didn't get a signal. I have gone through this cites related sticky and any other possible solutions but haven't found a fix. any ideas?

Are you sure it is plugged in correctly? What is your build exactly?

Plugged it into the Mother board, the GPU does not have a vga slot.

Saw the concern about wattage in the discussion about the build, general consensus was it would be a problem if i wanted to add more but should be fine at present. Both the 6 and 8 pin connector are in being on the same wire . still going to try with out the GPU,
